Some websites do not load, connection timed out help please!
« on: November 21, 2007, 10:40:24 AM »
To start off I have run many antivirus and anti spyware programs, ad aware, norton etc. and the problems I am experiencing occur both in internet explorer and mozilla firefox.  Some pages load fine, like gmail and google (although the search in google and logging in in gmail are taking longer I think, perhaps it is just me though).  On facebook, the connection always times out.  I went to download safari, and the download column on the left side also had a message that said "connection timed out" although the rest of the page loaded fine.  I experience this problem with other pages as well, these are just the ones that come to mind.  As you can see, this page loaded fine.  Also, I checked in the networking portion of task manager and I am never am using more than 10% of my bandwidth.  I am using Windows XP
